Deuteronomy 13

Revised Version 1895

1IfH834 there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he giveH6680 thee a sign or a wonder, 2and the signH226 or the wonderH4159 comeH6965 to passH6965, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, LetH5414 usH5414 goH6965 afterH413 other gods, whichH226 thou hast notH3588 known, and letH5414 usH5414 serve them; 3thou shalt notH3808 hearken unto the words of that prophetH1696, or unto that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your GodH430 proveth youH834, to knowH3045 whether ye love the LORD your GodH430 with allH3045 your heart and with allH3045 your soul. 4Ye shall walk afterH413 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and fear him, and keepH8085 his commandmentsH1697, and obeyH8085 his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. 5And that prophetH430, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; becauseH310 he hath spokenH8085 rebellion againstH8104 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought youH853 outH853 of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee outH853 of the house of bondageH5647, to draw thee asideH310 outH853 of the way which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH4687 thee to walk in. SoH8085 shalt thou put awayH310 the evil from the midst of thee. 6IfH3588 thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughterH1004, or the wifeH1696 of thy bosom, or thy friend, whichH834 is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, sayingH1696, Let usH5921 goH3318 and serve other godsH430, whichH834 thou hast notH3588 knownH3318, thou, norH4480 thy fathers; 7of the godsH430 of the peoples whichH834 are round aboutH3045 youH859, nigh unto thee, or far offH7453 from thee, from the one end of the earth evenH3588 unto the otherH312 end of the earth; 8thou shalt notH776 consent unto him, norH4480 hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: 9but thou shalt surelyH8085 kill him; thine hand shall be first uponH5921 him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the peopleH3808. 10And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he dieH4191; becauseH3588 he hath sought to draw thee awayH3605 from the LORD thy GodH3027, which broughtH1961 thee outH3605 of the land of Egypt, outH3605 of the house of bondage. 11And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall doH3318 no moreH5921 anyH3318 such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee. 12If thou shalt hearH8085 tellH3605 concerning one of thy cities, whichH2088 the LORD thy GodH3808 giveth thee to dwell there, sayingH1697, 13CertainH259 base fellows are gone outH3427 from the midst of thee, and have drawn away the inhabitantsH3427 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, LetH5414 usH5414 go and serve otherH259 godsH430, whichH834 ye have notH3588 knownH8085; 14then shalt thou inquire, and makeH3045 search, and askH559 diligently; and, beholdH3808, ifH834 it be truth, and the thing certainH376, that suchH834 abomination is wrought in the midstH7130 of thee; 15thou shalt surelyH2063 smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and allH1697 that is therein and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. 16And thou shalt gather allH3605 the spoil of it intoH2719 the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the cityH5892, and allH3605 the spoil thereof everyH3605 whit, unto the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again. 17And there shall cleave nought of the devoted thingH3605 to thine hand: that the LORDH3068 may turnH1961 from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercyH3068, and have compassion uponH1961 thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers; 18when thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORDH3068 thy GodH3068, to keep allH4480 his commandments whichH834 I commandH3027 thee this day, to doH3027 that whichH834 is right in the eyes of the LORDH3068 thy GodH3068.
